The Ravens defense was more stout the year before Flacco showed up compared to this year. At 28 years old, he is tied for 10th all time in the league for playoff wish by a QB. He has as many playoff wins as Peyton Manning in less than half a window of a career, and more than Rodgers as well as Eli.

Also, what was Baltimore's record from 2001-2007 compared to 2008-present? What was their playoff record in that span?

Checkdown artist? Flacco throws one of the best deep balls in the NFL.

Goddamn, some of you guys just absolutely refuse to accept that there's other good QBs not named Cam Newton. I love Cam and I wouldn't trade him for anyone, but Joe Flacco played his ass off and had one of the best postseasons a QB has ever had. He's gonna get PAID and he's gonna deserve it.

This coming from a guy who questioned whether or not Flacco would ever become elite.

Here's a question....you guys are all ready to hand Cam a monster contract yet your hesitant about Flacco getting one. What exactly has Cam done to prove he should get a top 5 contract? Has he been consistent enough? I don't think so.

There was also one other important change that came to Baltimore in 2008 that you didn't mention.

Aaron Rodgers might get his extension this offseason, and it's going to be bigger than Flacco's.

As for what Flacco's agent said, of course he said that. He's his agent. If you ask the president of Fanta what the best soft drink is, he'll say Fanta even though he knows that it's just carbonated river water. Flacco's a top ten guy, but he's going to break the bank because he had the balls to ride it out without taking the big guaranteed money before he reached the end of his contract.

I hope they make him the highest paid QB and have no choice but to cut boldin so we can have a chance to sign him. Flacco without boldin and torey is crappy at best. It's fugged up the way the NFL sign their QBs, more based on teams performance rather than individual talents. That's why i can't stand pocket passers. They're the least skilled and athletic player on the field but highest paid. The NFL is kind of similar to the way this society works as a whole. The least talented people exploiting the talent of other people and taking credit for it.
